Nintendo Downloads – November 30, 2023 – News

Things we missed last week: Warp and Warp in the Archives, and in light of its Japanese launch this week Snakebird Complete is actually a cool looking puzzle game. (Disclosure: NWR contributor Syrenne McNulty was a producer on the game.)

You know, with single-digit surprise appearances and a light lineup thus far this week, maybe Nintendo of America should take Thursday and Friday off more often. However, that’s not to say that this week isn’t surprisingly busy, with both the west and Japan taking on major properties in respectively the Batman Arkham Trilogy (which has separate listings for the games but no prices for them yet) and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Dark Prince with its attempt to create competitive Dragon Quest Monsters – and based on the 2023 World Pokemon Championships, I hope they succeed. (Seriously, forcing three quarterfinals to sudden death because of an internet drop when that should be local?) Also hitting shelves this week is the very light novel-y My Next Life As A Villainess, which you better believe is an isekai.

The download space has a few headliners, biggest of which is SteamWorld Build as the series attempts to swoop in and snag marketshare from the cluster*bleep* that is Cities Skylines 2. (I sense a theme here.) Also hitting are John Game of the Week Gothic II, prehistoric civilization builder Roots of Pacha as seen in the Indie World a couple of weeks ago, and the crowdfunded strategy RPG (think FF Tactics) Arcadian Atlas as published by Serenity Forge.

Three things of note from Japan: we have a new game from Good Feel that appears to be licensed (Fairy Tale Drama Bakei), I’m cautiously watching for the localization of a Cupid Parasite fancart, and if you grabbed the Japanese N64 app for the Switch Online expansion pack for Custom Robo there’s a new one to download. Specifically, the additions of Goldeneye and Jet Force Gemini have created an “18+” version of the app, which will presumably be the main way to access Jet Force Gemini early if the “December” date from NoA doesn’t turn out to be “December 1” (or late night on November 30 in North America).

(And before you ask, that “GenseiSuikoden” game is not the Konami one, that’s been bumped to next year and would be bundled anyway. It’s a public domain concept.)
